GETC AWARDS 2027
Recognition for solutions that can change the energy system.
GETC Awards 2027 identify technologies, projects, companies and research-to-industry solutions with credible potential to improve how energy is produced, stored, transmitted, secured, managed and used.
THE REASON
Why GETC awards?
The future of energy should be recognised before it becomes obvious.
The evaluation is built on independent expert review, not a popularity contest. Every entry is assessed through evidence-based scoring across 8 published criteria, giving the process a transparency and rigor that stands apart from sponsorship or commercial participation of any kind.
For finalists, recognition starts well before the Awards Ceremony itself: shortlisted entries gain visibility among industry, investors, institutions and international delegations, and selected finalists have the opportunity to present or showcase their work directly to that audience.

FAQ
Still have questions?
What is GETC 2027?
GETC 2027 (Global Energy Transition Congress) is a two-day international congress in Valencia, Spain (9-10 April 2027) bringing together government, industry, investors, technology providers and researchers to address the systems shaping the future of energy.
How many public ticket types are there?
There are three public ticket tiers (Visitor, Delegate and Executive) plus a fixed-price VIP Leaders Pass. Each tier unlocks a different level of access to sessions, networking areas and hospitality.
Can I buy a Government or Investor ticket?
No. Government & Institutional and Investor Access are approval-based roles rather than public ticket tiers. Apply through the Government & Institutional or Investor Access pages and the GETC team will confirm eligibility.
Are tickets refundable?
Tickets are refundable up to 30 days before the Congress, minus a processing fee. After that window, tickets can be transferred to another attendee but are no longer refundable.
Can I upgrade my ticket later?
Yes. You can upgrade to a higher tier at any time before the Congress by paying the price difference between your current and new ticket.
Building something that can change the energy system?
Put it to the test.
